"Uncle wears this well-fitting official uniform, but it doesn't look like it."

Xue Pan put on a black gauze hat, looked at himself in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction, although he is still a young man, but it is true that people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, and wearing such official clothes adds a sense of majesty, "Okay, you can do everything at home, if you are free, it doesn't hurt to do one, and the other one is a commander, and he is also a six-grade official, the same grade, and it doesn't hurt to make a few more sets to change and wear." ”

Xue Pan went out, and He'er was ready to go down, but was stopped by Qingwen, "Aunt Mei is there, why have I never heard of it?" ”

He'er smiled and said, "Sister has only come here in the past few years, so naturally I don't know about our south," she told Aunt Mei about it, "This Aunt Mei is very young, and her needlework is very outstanding, but she is doing splendid work, which is different from your clothes making skills." ”

Qingwen gave birth to a sense of crisis that she didn't notice, "This Aunt Mei is the aunt of the master, and the uncle is naturally not good at wearing the clothes she makes, waiting for me to do it in the past few days, I will change it for the uncle immediately!" ”

He'er didn't know why Qingwen suddenly became unhappy, stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak, "What about Aunt Mei, where are you now?" ”

"Mrs. and Uncle both said that it was inappropriate for Aunt Mei to stay at home, so they wrote a letter of resignation and asked her to go back," He'er told the truth, "Now it has nothing to do with our family, but their Mei family has been working for our family for generations, so it should still be in their own home." ”

Qingwen nodded, it's good that she is not at home now, she suddenly felt that she should hurry up and make a new set of official clothes for Xue Pan, no, it will take several sets of them, He'er is ready to take down Xue Pan's clothes and put them away, and she is ready to clean the house, but she was stopped by Qingwen, "Those things will be done later, the important things will be done first, the uncle's official uniform will be done first, you go and pull the high-quality cloth for me." ”

He'er was very distressed, "Sister Qingwen, I still have a bunch of errands here, if these outside work is not done, I am afraid that I will be seen by my grandmother when I come back at night and talk again, not to mention that I can't make clothes in the first place, I can't compare to my sister, you are ingenious, you are still an adult, so let me go." ”

Qingwen scolded with a smile: "Don't be lazy by not knowing!" No one will start to learn, and if everyone says they can't at the beginning like you, they won't do anything, and who will be on an errand in the future! Besides, you always have to learn in the future, in case I go out, uncle's clothes, do you have to go all the way to invite Aunt Mei from the south to come! ”

Xue Pan went out of the door, first went to tell Aunt Xue, saying that she was going to the Yamen, Aunt Xue was busy ordering people to follow, and when she went out, Governor Liu was already waiting outside, Yin Tianzheng and the others were also ready to wait for Xue Pan to go out, and there were dozens of people here all of a sudden, Xue Pan frowned, "This is going to Zhan Shifu, not to fight, what are you doing with so many people?" Just four or five. ”

Yin Tianzheng followed Xue Pan's carriage with Li Zhang, Ma Sanhao, Zhen'er and other seven or eight people, Governor Liu's life was miserable, it can be seen from his means of transportation, he came on foot, even the favorite and cheap carriage in Kyoto was not willing to rent, so Xue Pan invited Governor Liu to get on the carriage to pass.

Along the way, Xue Pan closed his eyes and recuperated, and he was not ready to talk to Governor Liu, Governor Liu was also ready to introduce the current situation of Zhan Shifu to Xue Pan, seeing Xue Pan put on a not very happy posture, he didn't dare to speak out immediately, just secretly peeked into the interior of Xue Pan's carriage, and secretly smacked his tongue at the wealth of the Xue family.

Zhan Shifu and the Ministry of Rites, Guozijian, Taixue, Hanlin Academy, these yamen are very close, are in the southwest of the Daming Palace, although it is relying on the Daming Palace, according to political reasoning, the closer to the center of power to build the yamen, the more it shows that the greater the power in their hands, but this place, in addition to the Ministry of Rites is not bad, the rest of the yamen is simply a door, no one cares, no wonder Luoyang people call this here "poor sour street" means in addition to the poor sour reading and learning officials, There is nothing at all, and the northwest corner of the household, Taichang Temple, Caocang, Taicang, mint has always been compared, it is simply not the same.

Xue Pan lifted the curtain slightly, and saw the heavy snow piling up outside, and there was no pedestrian on the road, Xu was subconscious, Xue Pan felt that even the high-headed wall that continued to pass along the way was much more dilapidated than elsewhere, and after a while, when he arrived at a square, Yin Tianzheng came to report, and it happened that Governor Liu also saw it, "Uncle, Lord Xue, Zhan Shifu has arrived!" ”

Xue Pan straightened his clothes, got out of the carriage, looked up, only to see that the façade of Zhan Shifu is not bad, the gate is built very spacious and majestic, the carved railing painting building is different from the popular style of this dynasty, under the cover of snow, quite a bit of simple and atmospheric meaning, the yamen has always had no signboard, unless it is the house of the title, the rest of the yamen are without signboards, but where is the sign of the yamen, that is, the two huge white silk lanterns hanging at the door, this look at the lanterns, you know that the days of the Zhan Shifu are really not good, The white silk cloth was dirty, and it was no longer white, but it was a little colorful and gray, and the big black characters of "Zhan Shifu" written on it were also very blurred.

And the copper edge of the corner on the door is missing, and the paint on the door is also mottled and falling, which is simply miserable.

Governor Liu looked at Xue Pan's slightly frowning appearance, for fear that this rich kid wouldn't be able to stand the unlucky appearance here, so he would run away, so he stood beside Xue Pan and stretched out his hand to guide, "Lord Zhan Shi is already waiting for Lord Xue inside, so hurry up and go in." ”

Xue Pan originally thought that it was just a poor façade, the Dayue Dynasty had the tradition of "officials do not repair the government" in the former Ming Dynasty, the life inside was comfortable, and the façade outside was almost indifferent, but when it came to the inside, it was really startled, although the atrium inside was wide, the grass could be reborn everywhere, and there were cobwebs everywhere beside the pillars under the eaves.

Governor Liu saw Xue Pan's stunned expression, and hurriedly explained with a smile, "Hehe, Lord Xue, our Zhan Mansion is indeed a little simpler, don't mind too much, my lord." ”

"It's simple here," Xue Pan cried bitterly in his heart, "It's just just asking for food!" ”
